Hi McPac,

I've never had much problem with anger, at least not outwardly (i.e., toward other people). I guess I could say I was often angry with myself, though. When I do (rarely) get angry at someone, it's usually measured, short-lived, and justified; this is true on or off meds. But pre-Klonopin I did experience intense frustration, obsessive worry, panic attacks, and periods of uncontrollable agitation and insomnia, regularly leading to severe depression. Overall, I'd say I was often "hyperreactive" -- small setbacks would seem like the end of the world and could send me into a tailspin.

I don't experience any of this with Klonopin, and it doesn't dull me out either, just makes me feel normal. A small dose of Adderall also helps smooth things out and got rid of the residual mild depression that remained after I started K.

BTW, during the brief period when I was taking Zoloft (at a tiny dose), I did have frequent bouts of bizarre, irrational anger. That ended as soon as I stopped the Zoloft.
